NEW DELHI: After dialogue with the protestors against the Koodankulam nuclear power plant failed to yield results, the government initiated steps to throttle the fund flow, especially from foreign donors, into the NGOs suspected of actively aiding and abetting the resistance movement that has delayed the commissioning of the two 1,000 MW reactors in the plant by over three months.

"In coordination with the Tamil Nadu Government, the Union Government will jointly work out the mechanism to open the Koodankulam nuclear power plant as early as possible," he said in a brief chat with reporters at Karaikal.
